Abstract
Founded in 1972 in Jeddah, with its headquarters in Riyadh, WAMY (World Assembly of Muslim Youth) is a Saudi humanitarian non-governmental organization. It regularly deploys free medical and surgical missions, particularly in low-income Muslim countries where access to healthcare remains a major public health challenge.
Through these medical-surgical missions, WAMY mainly provides free surgical procedures carried out by a multidisciplinary team, targeting common yet costly diseases that affect underprivileged populations. These missions also include medical consultations, preoperative assessments, and the distribution of medicines for postoperative follow-up.
In Guinea, WAMY carried out two medical-surgical missions in 2025 in partnership with the Ministry of National Defence. The first mission took place from January 21 to January 30, 2025, during which 1,300 consultations were conducted and 156 patients underwent surgery at the Conakry Military Hospital. The second mission was held from October 24 to November 1, 2025, during which 1,480 consultations were provided and 186 patients underwent surgery.
